Is this Priest or Necromancer?
I start having a sense of nausea over all the Deathrattle, Shadow, and now Cloning stuff for Priests.
Where are the good old Holy Spells and Power Words?
It fits, certainly.
But Priest is not only a necromancer, exactly as Priest is not just about death.
Instead, at each release Priest is only capable of playing these necromantic archetypes, nothing else.
Btw, resurrection is not necromancy.
Two main ways it can go - you can stack your deck with spell damage, get some coins and Radiants and then cast couple of Mind Blasts and Smites. Or it can act as new Nzoth, but opposite to that - summoning all the Deathrattle minions which ARENT died this game.
Relies too much on RNG, at turn 9 a lot of your key minions could be in your hand or out of the game. Could be of some use with Bishop but I don't really see this card in play for now.
I can't remember what is my last card, this card will decide my fate!
MY TURN! I DRAW
O....Zerek's .... cloning gallery... But I have no minion left...
That is what Shadow Visions is for though
In priest, this is going to need a lot of support to do anything impactful (e.g. if they publish a new Deathwing Dragonlord type card that floods the board with tons of stats via deathrattle). I wish it were a rogue card, because you could do some crazy things in wild by emptying your deck (Myra's Unstable Element), filling it with Ragnaros the Firelord (e.g. through Gang up and Lab Recruiter) and nuking people for for 56 damage in a single turn via 7 Ragnaros hits.
I'm going to be pissed if I get this as my golden legendary.
Can lyra discorver it ?
I really hope this summons a minion or bunch of minions like Shadow of Nothing if we have less than 7 minions in our deck.
RIP Big Priest lol
Easiest combo is with quest priest. Finishes quest for you lol.
I mean, why wouldn't you have the quest finished by turn 9?
It has some incredible potential, but I think it's getting overhyped. Massively draw-dependent.
This is a really important point. You would (most likely) play this card to achieve a combo. This card relies on cards being in your deck. You can't (most of the time) control what you draw, so you can't control whether or not your combo instantly fails when you draw your combo piece(s). Of course consistency options exist (Baleful Banker) but these do not come close to compensating for the inconsistency inherent in this card. My prediction: bad card.
For the following combo, you will need:
1 radiant elemental in your deck
1 kelthuzad in your deck
1 power word shield
1 spirit lash
1 this
and all the big fucks you want to pile on inside the deck
enjoy
11mana tho*0*
With elemental, shield would be free and spirit lash would cost 1. 10 mana.
I don't see what practical purpose this serves. Yeah, it gives you a free 2 hp, but what after that? No board control implications, no reach damage... am I missing something here?
Kel'thuzard is what you missing.
Play this PW:S Kel'thuzard then play spirit lash, everything but him dies then at the end of the turn he Resses them all but not as 1/1 minions but under their original stat line.
